This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

Addrefs to Your Highness, if the Piece 'tis

Illuftrious Name it has the Honour to be in-

this View, it ftands in need of a much better- 
Apology than is in my Power to niake : ' Trifles, 
'tis true, ought never to be oflfer'd to the Confi- 
' deration of Princes j but, if Refpcft and AfFeaion 
have no other means to difcover themfelves, 
their Sincerity fliould be allow'd to plead a Par- 
don for the want of Manner and Importance. 

When I confider the univcrfal Efteem which 
the Britijb Nation have conceiv'd -for -Youj;.

not make my Court to them naorc effeaually 
than by this little Compliment to Youi They 
have appear'd fo thoroughly fenfible of Your 
Highness 's great and noble Qualifications, 
and fo fincerely pleas'd with the Profpefl of 
feeing them united with the many diftinguifli'd 
Virtues and Graces of a Princess^ 'tis both 
their .Duty and Inclination to honour; That 
1 have flatter'd my fclf, they wou'd not be dil^ 
pleas'd to have their Sentiments convey'd thro'

To make tn infallible Judgment of the emi-
